Week in Review #6

I can’t believe it’s already Friday — what happened to the rest of the week? Oh well — what does Friday mean? You know it: Oodle’s weekly news roundup! Sure, Google bought a femtocell company, MySpace Mexico launched and Digg launched its Digg Widgets, but what about BandTracker? It’s one of the best music applications [...]

Oodle: AlwaysOn 100 Award Winner!

Oodle was named as a an AlwaysOn 100 Top Private Companies winner!
The award, in the words of AlwaysOn, was a result of a survey of more than 1,000 venture investors, investment bankers, and technology insiders, who nominated more than 900 companies, and Oodle made it into the top 100. According to AlwaysOn, the AO100 winners [...]

Oodle Goes Camping

Weimar, California. Many call it paradise. Oodle calls it a second home.

Ahh, the wilderness. No cell phones?

Treading water is so passé.

Engineers sleep?

Oodle’s new headquarters?

Week in Review #5

Ah, Friday. We’ve got the weekend ahead and a week of news behind – what could be better? How about Oodle’s hot Facebook app BandTracker being named one of the top 10 Facebook apps?
Or how about the Dow Jones approving the sale of the Wall Street Journal for $5 billion? Or Facebook’s acquisition of Parakey?
The [...]

Cool stats about [...]

Week in Review #4

There wasn’t an extraordinarily large amount of news this week, but that doesn’t mean that the news wasn’t interesting. To kick off this week’s Week in Review, let’s head over to Vik, who wrote an awesome post comparing Craigslist alternatives. Oodle landed at #15, and the Oodle-powered Lycos and Local.com landed at #9 and #10, [...]

Oooodel? Nope: Oodle.

An ever ongoing process, Oodle has tweaked a few things to make Oodle more helpful. One of those tweaks is to expand the suggested search results. Did I really mean to type in Honca Cibik? No, I did not. Did I mean Honda Civic? Yes, I did.
Try it out for yourself. Seriously, [...]

Week in Review #3

The news was surging this week despite the fact that there were only four business days. On an Oodle note, we launched Oodle Canada. With 38 metros and 31 universities (and growing), we’re already seeing some strong local traction up in the strange and brilliant land above.
On a different note, Allen Stern over at Center [...]

Kijiji and Oodle

On Tuesday July 3rd, eBay quietly launched Kijiji in the US. A number of people have been asking us both what this means for eBay and for Oodle.
In short, we think the launch of Kijiji is good for eBay, good for Oodle, and, most importantly, great for consumers. With Kijiji and other [...]

Oodle, eh?

Oodle launched Oodle Canada yesterday (right on time for Canada Day, too!). With nearly one million listings from hundreds of sources, Oodle users in the Great White North can now more easily access local classifieds.
Canada is an exciting new opportunity for us, not only because it is a vibrant market for classifieds, but it’s also [...]
